[Swarm-Modelling] Problem in running the swarm tutorial.

[Kavita Gangal]

Hello everyone,
I am Kavita Gangal working at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research,
Mumbai, India.
I need to learn swarm.
I am working on Windows-XP platform.

I need to know the following:

1. Whether i can run the swarm applications on Windows-XP without using Cygwin.

2.I went through the jSIMPLEBUG: a Swarm tutorial for java (By Charles P.
Staelin, Smith College, Northampton, MA) (which is based on the ObjectiveC
code and original text by Chris Lanton & swarm development team at SantaFe
Institute, NM.) which can be found at the following Link:
http://eco83.econ.unito.it/swarm/materiale/jtutorial/JavaTutorial.zip

I tried to compile and run two simple applications of the SimpleBug:
a.)SimpleCBug/StartSimpleBug.java and b.)SimpleJavaBug/StartSimpleBug.java
using standard java commands i.e. javac and java
The compilation goes without any problem. i.e. javac works and creates class
file StartSimpleBug.class ; But when i try to run the output with the command
"java StartSimpleBug" at the commandline then it gives an error saying:

E:\java_examples>java StartSimpleBug
Exception caught: no javaswarm in java.library.path
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: createBegin
        at swarm.SwarmEnvironmentCImpl.createBegin
(Native Method)
        at swarm.Globals.<clinit>(Globals.java:39)
        at StartSimpleBug.main(StartSimpleBug.java:19)

Can someone please explain me the error? and also give a solution on how to
eliminate it? what is "javaswarm"?
